HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,273, dated May 28, 1889.

Application filed June 22, 1888. Serial No. 277,913. (No model.)

- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ROBERT ATKINSON GARTsIDE and DAVID GENEsE, citizens of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that type of stoves known as latrobes, and has forits objectto provide a novel construction whereby the waste of heat is in a large measure avoided and the cold air at or near the floor of an apartment is drawn into hot-air chambers or fiues interposed between the stove-body and the smoke-fines, to be there heated and discharged into the apartment, thus materially increasing the heating capacity and usefulness of the stove.

The object of our invention we accomplish in the manner and by the construction and combination of devices hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stove embodying our invention; Fig. 2, a horizontal sectional view on the line a: as, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a detail plan view of the stove-base or ash-pit to show the fiues therein; Fig. 4, a detail bottom plan View of the stove-body; and Fig. 5, a vertical sectional View on the line y y, Fig. 1.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will now describe the same in detail, referring to the drawings, wherein The numeral 1 indicates the stove-body, having the usual magazine, grate, and other appurtenances common to latrobes, and pro- 'vided at each side with a vertical smoke-flue,

2, between which and the stove-body is located a vertical air-heating chamber or flue, 4, the outer walls, 5, of which constitute the inner walls of the smoke-flues. The stove-body communicates with the smoke-fines by short lateral tubes or flues 3, that extend through the air-heating chambers 4, and from the capplate 6, which closes the upper ends of the smoke-fines and air-heating chambers or flues, projects a thimble or flue, 7, that serves to connect a smoke-flue with the chimney for carrying oi the products of combustion from the stove-body. The smoke-fines and air-heating chambers are open at their lower ends, and the outer sides of the said air-chambers 4 are provided at their top portions with lateral exitorifices 8, for the discharge of hot-airinto the apartment or room.

The base of the stove is provided with suitable doors or dampers, as indicated in Fig. 1, and comprises a base-plate, 9, formed with curved partition-walls 10 and 12,.that curve from the front portion around to the rear to provide two curved cold-air fiues, 13, which underlie the lower open ends of the air-heating chambers or fiues 4. The base-plate 9 is also furnished with a marginal wall, 14, to provide a continuous flue, 15, which communicates with and connects the lower open ends of the smoke-fines 2.

The stove-body is surrounded in part by a casing or hood, 16, covering the rearward and lateral portions thereof, butso arranged in relation to the stove as to provide ample space for air-circulation, said casing or hood extending down to the floor in rear of an d in contact with the marginal wall 14 of the base-plate 9 and provided with a central rear cold-air-supply flue, 17, by which air is led from a cellar to the space between the hood and stove, where such air is heated, and then rises and passes out at the front into the apartment or room.

The cold air at or adjacent to the floor of the apartment or room enters the front ends of the base-fines 13, passes upward into the chambers or flues 4, Where it is heated, and then discharges through the exit-orifices Sinto the apartment or room.

The air heating chambers are curved in cross-section and elongated around the stovebody, and their forward walls, which have the hot-air exits 8, are exposed at the front of the stove. As the outer walls of the air-chambers constitute the inner walls of the smoke-flues, the latter serve in a large measure to heat the air which enters the air-chambers through the horizontal cold-air flues 13 in the base of the stove.

The doors 18 of the stove are provided with mica panes 19, having minute perforations 20 in the upper portions for the purpose of admitting air, which combines with the gases above the actual zone of combustion, thereby supplying oxygen and effecting a more comof combustion to a chimney, the stove-base having a continuous flue communicating with the smoke-fines and air-inlet fines communicating with the air-heating chambers, and a casing or hood partially surroundin g the stove and having an air-supply flue, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
